1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background and Objective: Green tea is a popular beverage worldwide and has numerous health-promoting properties. Accumulating evidence indicates that green tea has preventive and therapeutic effects on lung cancer. This study aimed to investigate the association between green tea consumption and lung cancer. Methods: We performed a narrative review to summarized the association between green tea consumption and lung cancer. Key Content and Findings: Green tea consumption is known to decrease lung cancer risk in the general population, as indicated by meta-analyses of observational studies. Two active components of green tea, theabrownin and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), mediate the antitumor activity of green tea. Theabrownin promotes apoptosis, induces cell cycle arrest, and inhibits the migration, clone formation, and proliferation of lung cancer cell lines Conclusions: Observational studies have indicated that green tea has preventive effects on lung cancer.
